We need a set for Green. She would be the most valuable card.
>>59426363I love my wife Green!
>>59426499And she will never love you.
>>59426567>t. jealous singlefag who has no wifekek
New aislop mega Rayquaza making the rounds Inb4 the actual card looks worse
>>59426736we still have 30th anniversary before that.
>>59426571No, Green would hate you and find you annoying. You know I'm right.

Enlightenment is ditching any and all PSA and going with TAG
some of the old Japense set names really crack me up. like Offense and Defense of the Furthest Ends or Intense Fight in the Destroyed Sky
What is everyones favorite card of the cover pokemon from the games? I'm gonna be collecting the games and I want to get a cool card for each of the cover mons.Also I'm gonna pick up some Strike Witches cards from the ChaosTCG
It arrived in the mail.
I also love my wife Green!
Anyone collect eif babies?My gf has been completely obsessed with this shit.
>>59426790Depending on what games you're getting you may not have many options.
>>59426914>not officially licensedYeesh
>>59426926
>>59426917Sometimes I think of the bullet we dodged that a legit Shadow Lugia card was never made. It would probably be the most scalped card in existence.
>>59426928How many illustrations rares does Lapras fucking need?
>>59426934I dont know of a single person who even likes lapras. Its near unobtanium in the games.
>>59426926>>59426928Are those IR or SIR? I remember 25th had all eras and rarities merged together but I don't know if higher rarities were actually harder to pull, or everything had the same chance.I see a Gengar, birds and Mewtwo and I wish they didn't cost $800 on release
>>59426926What are the trainer card SIRs?
How can we tell if cards are fake?
How do you organize your binders/collection?
>>59426936shes ok
>>59426926I dont care about all these random cards. I just want more trainer cards for Green.
>>59426986By knowing what real cards look like. There's countless videos on youtube about how to spot fakes.
>>59427025link some
>>59426926>>59426928too bad about that obnoxious stamp on the art cards. really infuriating that they don't have the common sense to leave it off for the IRs. it makes sense for the reprints of classic cards but why interfere with new art I hate it so much.
>>59427112having actually seen IRs in person now, i dont think the hyper rares will be so bad.
>>59426932What exactly do you mean by legit here? That's an actual card.
>>59427112The japanese Anniversary stamp from previous years was so much more tolerable but now even they're stuck with the shitty pikachu head. Westoid localizers are cancer.
>>59426978It's 2026 and people ITT still dont know the difference between IRs and SIRs (or ARs and SARs)
>>59426986>>59426484>>59426499
>>59426914I'm not a chink so no.
>>59427226I still can't even tell the difference between Black and White era cards and X and Y era cards.
>>59426986buy a $5 loupe and take 2 minutes to learn about print patterns.
>>59427226what was that new rarity again for mew?
>>59426926>>59426928>literal ctrl c ctrl v Charizard >three fucking meowths>third of the ARs and SARs are duplicates >stamp in the middle of the card when it could be in the bottom right/left>any unovan mons after dedicating a whole set to it what a fucking joke, why the fuck are literal commons and non holos getting the classic treatment?I'm genuinely appalled.
>>59427269I just need to know if Green's Exploration is in the set.
>>59427272Green is never going to love you.
>>59426499>>59426834This Green looks hideous. At least gets some fucking taste.
>>59427226How am I supposed to see if they are textured from that picture for ants
>>59426986Rip them in half, they should have a dark layer in the middle
>>59427316You can see which ones are exs, retardbro. (Hint: they come after no non-exs)
>>59427294>>59427296>the demoralization bots are back
>>59427337>everyone I don't like must be a botSo, this is how you cope with really. I mean, the whole Green thing is already your way of coping with the reality that no woman will ever love you, but damn man.
>>59427353So you're projecting because you've never even had a GF? Got it. It all makes sense now. You really are jealous of our marriage.
>>59427358I really hit the nail on the head.
>>59427337No, I'm saying literally get better taste. This Green looks like a gremlin and you should be appalled that someone drew her like this if you actually cared about her and werent just doing this as a lame attempt to be annoying.
>>59427383>>59427363You're not making any sense bot kun
>>59427390Keep coping. Green will never love you.
>>59427383Gotta go with this anon, the artstyle of Let's Go is not appealing in the slightest.
>>59427397>>59427405I don't get it
>>59426928These fucking choices suck Looks like you gotta wait another five to ten years for more reprints anons
>>59427526thanks scalperfag. I will order even more 30th product at msrp to get my carboard fix
>>59426926>No Misty's tearsFAGS
Got this for shits and giggles>>59426986Compare with real ones. Although users itt apparently can't know the difference between a fake sealed box and a real sealed box
>>59427546Underwhelming result but really happy with the metal energy and the mareep line. Mareep's art is awesome
>>59427546Im just happy i got that Gardevoir EX in the mail today.
What's the best app for catalogging and keeping track of what i have? preferably with scanning
>still buying modern
>>59426926>>59426928That Jirachi and Hisuian Zorua are very nice...
>>59426926>new JirachiFUCKING KINOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>59427727>$100 for jirachi prism star???Shirley you're joking
Watch and judgehttps://youtu.be/zE1eNu7sUQM?is=ONWaPt3yWYf3QSwq
>>59427269>what a fucking joke, why the fuck are literal commons and non holos getting the classic treatment?Because they are important cards.
Finally pulled the trigger on this bad boy>>59427756old sleeve, too lazy to change
>>59427784If theyre statistically 90% of every non knockout collection pack, they damn well better look good being bulk. I miss the old delta species packs where you could pull 2-3 super rares instead of 1 uncommon or better like we have today where they nerfed the drop rates and created a scalper black market because nfts didnt take off
>>59426928To a surprise of nobody, the three birb is indeed art connected
>>59427834>articuno and moltres' wings jut out of frame>visible on eachother's cards>zapdos' wing juts out of frame>not visible on articuno's card
>>59427834This looks like the first partners art but in a bad way
The 30th cards would be a lot cooler if they didn't have the tramp stamp splotched over the art...
>>59427883I'm completely not interested in the set because of that fucking stamp. Go normies, go kill each other over a massive print set with a retarded stamp that ruins the whole card.
>>59427883>>59427905Good. Don't. More for us :-D
>>59427920Enjoy fighting scalpers over ugly cards :^)
>>59427931Enjoy missing out ;-)
My Johto Pokedex is slowly eking closer to completion.

What's wrong with me, why do I care about children's cardboard so much I am worrying so much about the 30th celebration and having to pay thousands for it when I could just ignore it but I just care anyway
>>59427834>Not connected in pokedex order It's over for my binder, looks like I stop collecting cards for good, good luck bros
>>59426926>>59426928>Pikachu, Gengar, Meowth, birdsI'm not even gonna bother trying to find any product I guess
>>59428295I meant Mewtwo
>>59426407Gengar mogs him
>>59426926>>59426928I'll invest around 10k for my sealed collection
>>59428445Sorry but I have more Gengars that mog your 1 gengar
>>59428225Because we don't have wives or kids
>>59427834>>59427882agreed, not really a fan of this style where it's the pokemon and a bunch of abstract colorful noise in the background. The bulbasaur line from ME is like this too and I don't care for it.the articuno IR we already have looks way better and I'd rather just get similarly themed cards for moltres and zapdos in fire and lightning respectively instead of ice.
>>59428521Why is that one ching chong gengar black?

I have hundreds of thousands of dollars in my home RIGHT NOW, all loose between binders, slabs and boxes, and any nigga could come to my house, stab me and rob everything.
Could you cucks stop sending cards to grade.It's becoming hard to find raw NM/Mint vintage cards
>>59428445He cute
>>59428712Totally off topic, but where do you live and what times do you leave for work or go shopping? No reason whatsoever.
>>59428608What? I see plenty of parents at locals.
Normies :)Except togekiss who's no longer a normie
>>59428889KINO assortment of cards nice
Hey anons, just recently got back into Pokemon cards. I bough a Japanese 151 pack and got some ok cards. Last night bought my first ascended hero’s booster bundle, I’m still a newbie on the terms like s.i.r and reverse holo. But these are what I pulled.
>>59428889luv me sumiyoshi kizukidon't mind the mareep it had to be taken out of the mareep page for the picture
>>59428819I live in the middle of Detroit with my ghetto bros
nice
>>59428937aside from the dugtrio (valued around $10 in engrish), you have about $2 worth of cards you pulled. If you don't already know you are way better off buying singles instead of gambling. unless the gambling is what you like, then knock yourself out.>>59428955love this artist and have many of these cards. maybe i need to put together a binder spread like this, I'll see what I've got, although I don't like mixing different eras of cards. You've inspired me anon thank you.
>>59428979
>>59429029
>>59429032Perfect. Much better.
>>59427166Ironic shitposting is still shitposting. Nothing about that card is accurate to how the cards are actually laid out. Attacks don't have pointless flavor text, nothing has that much HP in EX block, etc.
>>59429008Yeah I figured the dugtrio was the only ok card. I do like the idea of the gamble. I don’t like poker or slot machines so this is a fun way for me to gamble.My original intention is to collect cards like it’s 1999 and have a binder with all original cards, commons and what ever holos I can afford, but I do really like the new full art cards, Especially if it’s a gen 1 Pokemon, I want the psyduck where he’s in the water. So I probably do mix of both gambling with pack and buying singles
>>59429077https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Shadow_Lugia_(Nintendo_World_promo)You're a fucking retard.
Collecting for so long that the only cards or sets I'm interested right now are too expensive.How do I stop being poor?
>>59429134Get a job?
Is Celebration 30th worth it?Where am I supposed to go to look at visual spoilers now that justinbasil is kaput?
>>59427166>>59429077>>59429106but that's a jumbo card only? unlike imakui's cards they are actually "legit" (normal size) and also have weird textI'm both agreeing and disagreeing with both of you
>>59427322Magic fakes have black cores, what is stopping Pokemon fakes from having them too?
>>59428445>mega anything>mogsBootleg pokemon.
we should get cards of all the Datel fakemons
>>59429147How?
>>59429190So first you develop some kind of skill, then you sell your time to a company and they pay you money.
This is the best card of 2026.
>>59429190Apply and pray.
>>59429212Kino
There it goes, I just wasted all the luck I had left in the world. Time to never buy packs ever again.
>>59428831ive seen plenty of parents and couples as locals too.
>>59429393Aren't you the guy who keeps posting the same 2 mewtwos over and over for 1 year now?
>>59429148Pokebeach
>>59429466Thanks.
>>59429463They aren't even cool Mewtwo cards.If he wants me to be impressed, I want to see the Delta Species ones
>>59428283Fucking based and enlightened-pilled
It's done.
>>59429393this is the worst card printed in the entire SV era. imagine wasting your luck on bulge mewtwo with his partner smug gay giovanni
>get literally every other SIR except mega darkrai EX I feel dumb for even playing the game and attending two pre release events.
>win auction for favorite card>listing has multiple close up photos showing no flaws>arrives with small white mark/dent on the edge which clearly wasn't there in the listing photoNormally I'm fine with having imperfect older cards, but I'm pretty bothered about this one. Is it too much to request a return?
>>59429749Post auction picture and actual picture.Once I returned a card for the same reason. If I ask you multiple pictures and an honest opinion and you tell me it's fine and I receive a card that first look I immediately notice the flaw, I would be pissed off as well and not because the little white dot, but it's a matter of principle.
>>59429760Bottom left corner
>>59429576>>59429619Nice
>>59429749>>59429760>>59429933What fucking card is it?!?
>>59429749>>59430305In the past when I’ve complained about these sorts of things, I’ve got substantial partial refunds thatve made the fuckup worthwhile. So you could go that route
:D
>>59430427based
>>59429933Thanks for the picture, Anon.Personally, I tollerate more a little whitening on Western cards, rather than Japanese cards.The point is, would you have bought that card from the start if you had noticed that white dot? Depending on the card, I would've probably skipped that auction or offered less money.Any chance it got damaged during shipping?
>>59429933>buying from someone who photographs their cards on anything but a black backgroundDeserved
>>59429933might not even be the same card
I'm organizing my cards, and whoever decided on letters for the new set symbols needs to be drawn and quartered

>>59430662lmaobased retard
>>59430662I haven't organised my new purchases in like 2 yearsGreat way to stop yourself from buying more cards when you don't know what you already own
This pill jar is the best SR of 2026. It triggers addicts and mocks the scam that is modern medicine.
This guy had really nice sleeves, but I would feel like a retard spending over $10 on sleeves
>>59431173Fumbled hard bro those are nice and I'm not even into sleeves nor care to collect them
>>59431173I only buy sleeves with Green on them
>>59431187Well I asked if he would do a bundle deal and he said no. Fucking hate vendor kites
>>59429933What card is it you fat fucking chud? No one knows if you got ripped off if we don’t know the card/price.
>>59430305>>59431238Vending series magnemite. Paid $47 plus $9 tax/shipping for it
>>59431290Great taste. Love vending and love Kizuki. Is the vending series that expensive now? Five years ago, I was picking up near-mint vending cards for like 3-5 bucks.That said, my autism with the vending series was always the state of the gloss. If it has a nice, clean, scratch-free face, I would tolerate a speck of whitening on the back. I’d still message the seller and see if they’ll maybe give you a partial refund. Some sellers do it reflexively if they get any complaints.
I love my wife Green! We got our pitch black ETB's early
>>59431290Considering that you already paid above market price for that card, at least I would've liked to be absolutely perfect.Anyway in my opinion better a little white dot in the bottom corners than in the top corners.Was it at least shipped safely? Sleeve, toploader, cardboard etc?
I take it that we should open our booster bundles and ETBs?
Mail day! Thanks to that other Anon on an earlier thread for putting me on the existence of the chink Lisia card. I don't feel like it is better than the SAR we have already, but nice to have another girl in the collection.
>>59431436Its better to throw them off a building>>59431443How much did you pay for the Lissia
>>59431443can you stop posting the pdf stuff please :,) you really are ruining the thread and I never once said anything bad to anyone. please. your cards are nice, but the vile stuff is not necessary. this is my fav place here.
>>59431489>>59431501also in some places those photos are a no no and can get this place jammed up... idk why this risky stuff is allowed

>>59431443Has that doujin been scanned?
>>59431230Awoo
>>59431290>$47+shipping+tax+tariff+tip for common vendingsThey really pretend everything pokemon is literal gold, that's insane. I was in Japan last November, so when prices were already retarded, and even then you could still find a lot of vending commons in the bulk box, between 380 and 980 yen. Magnemite is among the popular ones, but I doubt I would find it for more than 1500 yen in the jewiest of shops.
>>59431557Based Indo enlightened scholar
>>59431665are you implying that shrewd Japanese collectors are inflating the prices for ignorant western consumers who have no means of accessing the market directly? or are you just reflecting how insane it is how quickly so much stuff has increased in value? because if it's the former maybe i need to plan a trip to Japan sooner rather than later
>>59431782If they could sell Japanese cards to ignorant foreigners for 3 or more times what they can sell it for at home, why wouldn’t everyone do that? Or failing that, why wouldn’t a small handful of local Japanese sellers buy up all the stock and immediately resell it abroad? I know markets aren’t strictly “rational,” but I’m pretty sure we’d see price convergence pretty quickly if these cards were dirt cheap in Japan.
I posted this for your viewing pleasure
New card for me

>buy EN slowbro assuming I wont pull it>get the slowbro in packsso now I have one to hang out with psyduck and one for the binder
